Great and memorable stay. The food was excellent, especially the dinner and I would rate this place 10/10. The staff were very friendly, helpful and went out of their way to assist us, showing great flexibility throughout our stay. The rooms were exceptional, truly beyond words. I have travelled extensively and stayed in many places and this is one of the best places we have stayed.

This is a beautiful property. We dined like royalty and the breakfast was very very good. Our restaurant waiter was very professional and did a great job describing the wine pairings. Our room was truly magnificent. We stayed in the queen Mary room. It was truly a bucket list item for me. The castle is a must do for history lovers and romantics.

Had a wonderful staff and as a coeliac they even prepared afternoon tea at short notice which was delightful. Once again was not let down in the evening with a Gluten Free menu and had a wonderful meal. My only criticism was at Breakfast no Gluten Free menu and the waitress was no very helpful just kept trying to push the avocado onto me as gluten free but I'm not a fan of avocado and felt like I wasn't a priority on my dietary needs so ended up with just fruit salad full of apple and yogurt and toast that was cold and tough. Otherwise our stay was perfect

The castle was a true castle and maintained well. The staff is every area we’re kind and friendly. This is a very nice place to enjoy adult only accommodations and my wife and I would stay here again if ever in the area. Food was also top quality and served as if you were at a 5 star restaurant.

This place is a hidden gem, we had the most amazing time and everyone was so friendly and kind, the bed was so comfortable it helped us with the jet lag, it was also fantastic that the room had a fan as we are use to sleeping with one at home. Breakfast and dinner were out of this world and we arrived 30 mins late to breakfast and they said no trouble and sat us immediately. We cannot wait to return and it was the perfect start to our anniversary trip!

The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows so weak they really could have been nonexistent.
The bathroom was nice and clean but the toilet had to be flushed a few times before it worked properly. The staff answered most of the questions we asked but offered nothing unless
asked. Charlotte and Leann (servers at bar) need
to find different work or take a course on customer service. It would have been nice to see a manager once in a three night stay. We never had dinner because it was just crazy expensive. We had breakfast three times which was very good. At check out they did not apply
our Expedia credit. We e-mailed them after and credit was given. Would not recommend and will not be returning.

We booked two rooms for a special occasion - we were allocated the Anne Boleyn and our daughter’s had the Audley rooms, both overlooking St Mary’s Church where we got married.

The staff were all very friendly and attentive, dinner in the library was fabulous and breakfast was perfect. We even had good weather.

Will definitely stay again

Lovely hotel set in stunning surroundings. The room was spotlessly cleaned daily, great attention from the housekeeping staff. As you should expect with it being a castle the sound insulation is not as per a purpose built hotel so we could hear conversations, music, tv etc from the people in the room above. The food at the hotel is plentiful and of good quality but perhaps limited in choice for the dinner menu.

Everything was just perfect! My husband and I enjoyed every minute celebrating his milestone birthday. The hotel exceeded our expectations. When we arrived, we were happy to hear that we got a free upgrade to a castle suite. We stayed in Catherine Howard room which was huge, had a four poster bed and a rolled bath. There were lots of complimentary things such as sloe gin, all sorts of teas and coffees, cosmetics in the bathroom, room slippers. The gardens were pretty and well maintained. Great to see a working water fountain too. The breakfast was delicious and all the staff were very attentive.

Hundreds of years after the second wealthiest man in Britain stops building thorrnbury castle because he gets beheaded by Henry 8th for gossiping about him there we were, in the sumptuous luxurious hotel, with the Michelin key, eating top notch scoff in the restaurant with 3 AA rosettes looking forward to a night in the tower.

It is not often that a hotel becomes the highlight of your vacation. THORNBUrY IS THE EXCEPTION TO THAT RULE!

We felt to transported to hundreds of years in the past in terms of the architecture and the style of interior furnishings. At the same time, it had all of the service amenities, quality of fixtures and furnishings, food anf service that is expected of a five star hotel.

Well worth the price of our stay, we so wish to return.

Beautiful Thornbury

We had the Queen Mary I superior suite which was gorgeous. It had the biggest window of all the accommodation rooms. The bathroom had a stained glass window which was so unique. Everywhere I went in the Castle and its grounds I was awestruck by all the details. We did the History Walk with Phillip which was so interesting to hear about Edward Stafford and Henry viii.
The church next door is stunning too.
We had food in the bar as we felt the main dining menu was a bit over the top, and we’d already paid a lot to stay 2 nights. The bar food was very tasty. We had the Charcuterie board the first night and then toasted sandwiches, a child’s burger and a child’s hotdog the second night. Portions were generous and the child’s burger was adult sized! We enjoyed the mocktails. The strawberry one is like a milkshake. The grounds are all amazing, and it feels like you’re in a fairy tale setting. We did a wedding style photo shoot to celebrate our upcoming 15th anniversary. We have captured some fabulous memories in the photos our friend took. Thanks to everyone at Thornbury Castle for a fantastic stay!

This was truly special. I took my 10 year old daughter hoping it would be worth the bus ride from London, and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. We rented Tudor costumes and walked all around taking lots of photos. My daughter was in heaven. The Anna of Cleves room was luxury accommodations and absolutely worth it. The bed was so comfortable! The three course dinner was delicious, and my daughter was allowed to order off the kids menu which she found to be exactly what she wanted. Breakfast was great also! The staff couldn't have been nicer and really seem to enjoy their jobs. I think it is perfect for a one night magical stay. It was a splurge and it felt like we got more than we paid for! We certainly made the most of it and will never forget it.

Not the full Relais & Chateau experience

It was too hot to stay in a castle without Aircond, otherwise a quaint bedroom and interesting castle experience. We were excited to enjoy the legendary Relais & Chateau experience but disappointed at the limited staff on hand and very disappointed with dining experience. In all an unexciting stay with funeral dining atmosphere.

We stayed in the Mary Queen of Scots room which had a wonderful view of the fountain. The room was spacious and elegant with a host of amenities. All the staff was so kind and helpful. Perfect stop on our honeymoon trip. Definitely plan to return in the future.

Fascinating, historic castle with great rooms

Weekend stay at Thornbury Castle. Fascinating, historic castle. We really enjoyed our stay. The restaurant was excellent and breakfast likewise. Our room was at the top of its own tower, with a fantastic bathroom. Great shower, although a bath would have been nice. The public rooms are amazing, with lots of character. Bit cold this weekend, but it was snowing outside.
